Join us on Thursday, October 15th at 4pm PST/ 7pm EST for the first event in the series, "Imagining Change: Film and Dialogue About Disability, Racism, Violence, Gender and Power". This virtual monthly series is a collaboration between Repair, the UCLA Disability Studies program, & the Saks Institute for Mental Health Law, Policy & Ethics at USC Gould School of Law.
We'll be screening the film, "The Released" (runtime 54 minutes), followed by conversation by the audience. Welcome remarks and facilitation by Victoria Marks and Beth Ribet.
Register here.
About the film: "The Released", produced by Miri Navasky and Karen O'Conner for PBS Frontline, focuses on the cyclical release and re-incarceration of people with mental disabilities in the U.S.
About the series: As we navigate urgent public health, racial and economic challenges, we recognize a continuing need for education and dialogue about vital social questions. "Imagining Change: Film and Dialogue About Disability, Racism, Violence, Gender and Power" engages issues of disability, race and racism, healthcare, violence, policing and incarceration, economic justice, law and policy, gender and sexual politics, protest, and social change.
Registrants will receive a Zoom link a few days before the event. All films in the "Imagining Change" series are available with closed captioning. Please contact us with any other questions or requests regarding disability access
Free tickets are available on demand. Sliding scale donations are welcome, to help offset event costs.
